So, I've been extremely busy this week, more than usual. I had my kid's school Christmasparties, volunteering in their class, in our church's private school, childcare (2days only), PTA meeting, dentist appt, BAKING :), church office work, Church staff meeting, more BAKING, teacher gifts, preparing for our Christmas pics......homework, dinner, baths, you get the picture.

Oh and If I could get off so easy, getting this REDO worked in and my Christmas one too so we could take our photos after service. AHHHHH!

(Happy place, Happy place, Happy place) lol

Thank you for being patient through all that.

Ok, though I worked on two items this weekend, I will only post the first one as I wore it to church (the 2nd was for the photo). The next one, my Christmasone will be next week BECAUSE I wore that CHRISTMASSUNDAY.

I loved the colors on the skirt, reminded me of the Fall colors I adore and could not pass up the chance to work on it.

It was perfect for the cool California weather we've finally been experiencing. It seemed as if Fall (my total fav) was bypassed and went straight into winter like weather/appearance. You know...more of the dead looking leaves than the beautiful oranges, reds and purples Fall is typically characterized by. It of course was outdated, too long and TOO narrow on the waist.

Well.....let me clarify, while you IGNORE the fact that I'm late again in posting (its been a continual thing ) haha, this was due 11/27. These are the last redo's of my 2010/11 year! I did my very FIRST REDO the first week of December 2010, wore to church on that Sunday 12/5 and posted the next day.

My first 2 redo's this week are posted here, my VERY VERY last is in the next post.

I worked on the 1st two items before our Thanksgiving trip down south, because I wouldn't have much time after our return. The last item I worked on Saturday night which I'll post next. The jeans I bought a month ago at the thrift store but didn't like the "MOM" look.... you know the high waisted, big bun, unflattering look haha. I thought I'd give them a chance since I'd gotten a tiny bit of experience with my"FLO" pants. The flower was made from leftover boy's tie (REDO #48)

1. JEANS - $4.00 thrifted2. FLOWER - $0 gifted boy's tie by Mom

1.BEFORE: High waisted dark blue jeans. They look black in this picture.
